Microsoft windows 7 operating system to operate on any system be it desktop, laptop or any laptops, compatibility is essential to the hardware’s to which installation should be executed. For instance, 1.

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster for 32-bit(x86) processor

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster for 64-bit(x64) processor

The processor is hardware within a computer system in our case being the personal computer (PC) which carries out the instructions by performing basic arithmetic logical and input and output operations of the system.

The different between 32bit processor and 64 bit processor, is speed. Fast understand the term bit is defined as valuable or computed quantity that can have possible values of 1 and 0 normally referred as binary digits. Apparently its basic knowledge to understand that during upgrade on windows 7

Basic architecture of 32 bit to 64 bit must have compatibility mode, 64bit work with large amount of data sets, unlike 32bit compatibility mode will be quite fast for basic tasks. But it's false to state 64bit architectures is no better than 32bit unless the computer has more than 4 GB of random access memory.

This refers to windows display model WDDM; it basically refers to major view and revision to direct 3D which has improved loading between CPU and GPU and graphic cards.

My personal perspective using windows 7 is speed, but overall, it just feels more natural than Vista or XP . Actually you can’t define exactly what it is, but after using windows 7 for a while on both laptop and desktop, it just doesn't feel quite as smooth or intuitive. It also adds a solid 20-30min to the battery life.
